The object of this Company is to promote Financial, Commercial, and Industrial enterprise in India and the East by the application of English capital, for the legiti mate and remunerative employment of which there is ample and constantly extending scope. The success of the operations of the Financial Companies in England has now been satisfactorily proved ; and a similar institution, adapted especially to the requirements of the East, and combining on its direction the needful experience, will have a field for profitable operations equal, if not superior, to any other. The Corporation will act as General Financial Agents, will make advances on approved securities, and will pro mote the development of the internal resources of the countries in which it may operate, by assisting in the establishment of sound industrial undertakings and enter prises. The Corporation will also undertake on commission the investment of funds placed in its hands, either in the pur chase of property, or in lending it out on mortgage and other securities. It will receive deposits at rates to be agreed upon; and it will take powers to issue bonds or obligations on the secutity of its mortgages and subscribed capital. The revenue of India has risen in a few years from £26,000,000 to £47,000,000, and the aggregate import and export trade during the same period has more than doubled itself. The increasing development of her natural produc tions, and the successful cultivation of tea, coffee, and other staple articles, together with the h!gh rates there current for money, compared with those upon which it can be bor rowed in this country, make the opening very favourable for the establishment of a Company of this description. Powers will also be taken to extend the operations of the Corporation elsewhere as may be found expedient. Arrangements are in progress by which the business may be speedily commenced. Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Shares may be obtained at the Temporary Offices, or of the Brokers or Solicitors. The Memorandum and Articles of Association may be inspected at the Offices of the Solicitors. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposits will be returned without deduction.

This Company is formed wr.h the special object of uniting into one strong institution, with its chief office in London, numerous small local and colonial institutions, requiring con solidat on and additional strength and resource. The principle of so uniting small colonial institutions has been most successfully applied to colonial and foreign bank ing companies ; and as London is becoming daily more and more the great "clearing house" of the t onnmercial world, the different colonial insurance offices have experienced the absolute neces ity of being effectually represented there, and tele representation they now realise can only be ful Y secured., as in the case of the colonial local banks, through amalga mation with some London company of ample means and com manding general confidence. The directors of the Home and Colonial Company have been applied to by shareholders in these companies to estab lish 8113 London institution, and are now in treaty wi h several very successful colonial insurance offices, either for entire amalga ration, on very favour able terms, or for that beneficial reciprocity of agency which will at once secure to the Home and Colonial Assurance ( nmpany a most valuable, sale, and lucrative business as a co-operative assurance com pany. it may be mentioned, as indicative of the success of the colonial insurance companies, that their selling prices range from 1 0 to as high as 1,000 per cent. premium, and the increase of insurance busines t in the Australian, South African, Canadian, and Easte n settlements is at a rate of progress which has no parallel in European countries. The princip eof assuring investments made through he comp ny's agency—a pr nciple so ucces-dully carried out by colonial offices —wi , l enter as anew tea , ure into ho objects of the "Home and Colonial Assurance C mpany ;" nd as is i s numerous agencies in all parts it will possess pecu far facilities for making assured investments for individuals in sound foreign and colonial securities, the Directors confi dently anticipate, from the agency and insurance charges in this department of their business, a very Lrge and steady revenue to their shareholders. While, however, the Home and Colonial Assurance Com pany will specially direct its attention to foreign and colo nial business, it will not neelect at the same time to cultivate a home business—a department which will be greatly fos tered through its colonial connection. It will also, as a Fire Assurance Company, share in that large increase of fire in surance business here, which may be expected to follow the anticipated abolition of the heavy and imp )litic stamp tax at present imposed on r ()Ades of insurance. No promotion money given in connection with this Com pany, and the Directors' remuneration to be left to the share holders. Applications for hares to be made in the fo'lowing form, copies of which and of the prospectus to be had of the solid • tors, or brokers, or acting secretary of the company.

The gr - at Trunk Railway from Vienna, in the direction of the frontier of Moldavia, is at present complete as far as Lemberg. The communication is effbcted by means of two lines. 'the first being the Northern Railway, from Vienna to Cracow ; the second, the Carl-Ludwig Rai.way, from Crac :w to Lemberg. The first of these lines pays about 14 per cent. upon its capital. The second was completed only at the end of 1861. but since its opening has paid 8 per cent. upon its capital, and consequently has never required to claim the guarantee of 5 per cent. accorded to it by the Austrian Government. The present line is the continuation from. Lemberg to Czernowil z, near the Moldavian frontier. The concession has been grant - el by the Austrian Government on terms un usually favourable to the company undertaking it. The proposed railway, enter ng into the heart of the grain and cattle-producing district whence the Car:-Ludwig line obtains its mot important traffic, and being eonstru-ted at a very considerably less cost, promises to be more profitable than its neighbour. The continuance of the line through Mo'davia to Galatz, on the Danube 'for which a concession has recently been granted by the Chambers of the Pri,elpaliWs), must neces sarily add lareely to the profits of the Lemberg-Czernowitz Railway, which will thus form an integral cart in an un broken and direct railway communication between the Baltic, the German Ocean, and the Black Sea. The concession, the duration of which is ninety years, sti pulates for the comment - ment of the works previous to the t ith January, 1E65, and for their completion within three years ; but provision is made for extension Lf these periods in case of political or financial crisis. The Government guarantee a fixed sum of Z 150, 000 in silver money as a net annual revenue of the line. The sum thus guaranteed by the Government, after pro viding for the payment of interest at 5 per cent. on the Bonds, and for an annual sinking fund, will leave a clear 7 per cent. applicable to the share capital. The sinking fund will be annually applied by lot to the redemption of the Bonds and Shares at par. The proprietors of the Shares thus, from time to time, redeemed will, for each share, receive a certifi cate entitling the bearer to a participation, during the re maining term of the concession, in all the profits of the Com pany exceeding 5 per cent. on the original capital. A contract, which wilt be adopten by the Company, has been entered into by the concessionaires with Mr. Brassey for a sum of £2,450,000. This contract provides for the construction of the rai way in accordance with the terms of the ooncession, and for stock ing the same with r Bing stock. It includes all the preli minary expenses of acquiring the concession and forming tne Company ; it makes provision for interest during con struction on paid-up capital at tha rate of 6 per cen'. per annum ; and it covers an ample reserve for the expenses of management until the railway shall be opened for public traffic. The concession confers the requisite power to form a So ciete Anonyme with Shares to bearer, whereby the liability of the subscriber will be limited to the amount of 25 per cent of the nominal amount of their Shares. The capital of the Societe Anonyme will be £2,450,000; to he issued, £1,20:,0)0 in Bonds, and £1,250,0t0 in Shares of £2O each. The Bonds have already been taken. Preparatory to the formation of the Societe Anonyme (which cannot be definitively constituted according to Aus trian law until 25 percent. of the share capital has been paid up), the Lemberg-Czernowitz Railway Company has been formed as a limited liabil it y "tnPallY, the shares in which will be exchanged for S hares of a like denomination in the Societe Anonyme. A copy of the fkrticles of Associati on, of the concession, and of the statutes under which it is proposed to constitute the Societe Anonyme, can be inspected at the Offices of the Soli citors, 46, Parliament-street.

This Company has been formed for the purpose of pur chasing and extending the valuab e and old-established Ship-building and Engineering Business of Messrs. Smith and Rodger, Glasgow, a firm well known on the Clyde, dur ing the last quarter of a century, as successful builders• There is probably no branch of industry which has been more profitable in Scotland during the last few years than iron ship-building, and when the great advantages possessed by Glasgow and its vicinity are considered, the rapid and in creasin 2-, expansion of the trade in that neighbourhood is not surprising. The Clyde possesses great advantages, compared with the Thames, in the lesser cost of coals. iron, and wages ; while the skill and industry of the scotch artisans are universal y acknowledged. Although several Shipbnildinz Companies have been established in the vicinity of London and Liverpool, whose operations have been attended with great success, the busi ness on the banks of the Clyde has hitherto been exclusively carried on by private enterprise, and the large fortunes accumulated by Scotch shipbuilders are a guarantee of what might be expected from the working of a Com pany possessing ample means and influential body of Di rectors. _ A great element in the success of this Company is the fact that there will be a London Board, ready t contrac tor the various and impor ant contracts of the British and Foreign Governments, an i the large Shipping Companies, whose orders are naturally first placed in hand in London, and . which are much more likely to he secured by the influence of a metropolitan directory than by the application of a provin cial shipbuilder.

The Yorkshire Magistrates and the Home Secretary. The partial removal of the Yorkshire Assizes from York to Leeds has given the magistracy of the North and East Ridings, assembled in Quarter Sessions, cause for warmly censuring the course taken in the matter of the Home Secre tary. In the two divisions, on Tuesday, a more than usually large number of magistrates assembled. In the North Rids ing, under the presidency of Earl Cathcart, Major STAPYLTON called attention to the way in which the magistrates had been treated by the Home Secretary. The Lords-Lieutenant had sought the opinion of the whole of the justices as to the poliey of removing part of the busi ness of assize from York, and in the North and East Rid ings an almost unanimous opinion was expressed against such a coarse, and in the West Riding less than one quarter of the magistrates were in favour of the scheme, the num bers being 59 for, 189 against. The Government inspector, after an inquiry, reported in favour of Wakefield ,being made an assize town for the West Riding; but, in the teeth of the justices and the inspector, Government decided in favour of Leeds. He would protest against the way in which their opinions had been sought and then entirely ignored, and would move a resolution that " having, by a large majority, in reply to the question of the Lords-Lieu tenant, at the instance of the Horne Secretary, pronounced their opinion against any portion of the assize business being removed from York, and no reason baying been given why that opinion was not respected, the magistrates have not been treated with that courtesy and attention, which, as a body, they were fairly entitled to expect. He should propose that a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the Home Secretary. The motion was seconded by Mr. CAYLEY, who thought the Government, at the time of asking their opinions, had already made up its mind to divide the assize business of the Riding, and it seemed to him that the proceeding was a gratuitous insult, more especially as the West Riding had exhibited a preference for Wakefield rather than Leeds. He could only suppose that some private influence had been at work at the Home eeffice, and thought they ought to ex press their feeling of the insult put upon them. COl. CROMPTON said the asking of the magistrates' opin ions was a perfect mockery if there was no intention of act ing upon them. On the other hand, however, the Hon. Mr. DUNDAS thought it highly inexpedient that the justices should con stitute themselves judges of the conduct of the Hume Secre tary. They did not know on what the Home-office had founded its resolve to divide the business, and they were assuming too much in saying that they had been treated cavalierly by the Home Secretary. Without having all the information before them--and they had none of it—they ought not to express an opinion of the conduct of a public functionary who, ho believed, endeavoured to discharge his duties to the best of his ability. He would therefore move that the question be not entertained. This amendment was seconded by Lord TEIGNMOUTH, and supported by Mr. blonntrr, M.P., who said there was evidently some misunderstanding in the matter. The ques tion was one with which neither the House of Commons nor the justices had aught to do, it being purely within the pre rogative of the Crown. However distasteful it might seem, the Home Secretary had a perfect right to seek their opin ions and not be bound by them. The House of Commons had talked a good deal on the subject, but it soon found itself clearly out of order. The matter was so clearly in the hands of the Home Secretary and the advisers of the Crown that, however indignant they might feel, the best thing to do was to hold their tongues and submit, or the Home Sec retary and the Queen's advisers might show they thought very little of the opinion of the justices. Sir G. Grey had L admitted in the house that he knew the opinion was in fa vour of Wakefield, if at all in favour of removal, but he had decided the question on other grounds. Mr. PENNYIKAN thought after this exhibition of courtesy the magistrates in future would not trouble to answer ques tions from the Home-office. MrAjOr STAT TETON, on the impression that the discussion world answer their purpose, withdrew the resolution, which, ha said, had served thoroughly to elicit the magistrates' opinions on the matter. In the East Riding, under the presidency or Mr, C. W. Strickland, a somewhat different course was taken. Refer ring to the removal of the Assizes to Leeds. Lieut.-Colonel PEA SE gave notice that at the Midsummer Sessions he should move that "A large majority of the jus tices of the three Ridings, after being consulted by the Lords• Lieutenant, at the instance of the Home Secretary, as to the propriety of removing a portion of the assize busi ness from York, expressed a decided opinion against any such removal. No explanation of the course taken in oppo sition to that opinion so asked for, and expressed by them, has been furnished by the justices, and under these cir cumstances they submit they have not been treated with the courtesy they have a fair claim to expect. The justices desire to record their sense of this want of consideration towards them, and request the chairman formally to co operate with the chairmen of the North and West Riding Sessions, and to communicate with the Home Secretary on the subject, and to take any other necessary steps." In giving this notice he would express his warm disapproba tion of the way in which the justices had been treated by the Home-office, and ho held it due to their position that at the proper time the motion should be adopted. The CHAIRMAN could not see what practical effect the motion could have, but would act as requested, as he telt the Home-office had not treated the magistrates courteously. state of Trade, CARDIFF, April 6,—A change in the direction of the wind a few days back has allowed a large num ber of vessels to come up ohannel, and the docks are now beginning to be very full, while there is also a good fleet in the roadstead. The iron market is in a very firm condition, and the high rates are likely to continue, unless some sudden change take plane in our political relations. Bars are quoted £7 15s, at which a brisk trade is being done. Scotch warrants are 58s cash, and 59s to 69s 6d open. Foreign freights still continue high, and vessels of the smaller class are scarce. LEICESTER, 6th.—The hosiery trade is becoming more active now that the holidays are over, and more business is being done at the warehouses. In the rural districts there is not much change. The yarn-market holds firm at high rates, spinners making generally to order. There is a fair amount of business doing in wools, and high prices are realised. NOTTINGHAM, 6th.—There has been rather more doing in lace goods this week. The plain trade has improved a shade. More is doing in Mechlin quil ling. Buyers are purchasing rather more freely of cotton goods. There is very little doing in black silk laces and narrow edgings. Silk Aleohlins are still selling freely. Ther e are no s t oc ks of either silk or cotton goods on hand. There is not much change in the hosiery trade; orders are now on hand both for shipment and for the home market. Yarns are exceedingly firm, and very high in price. Steps are being taken to invite Gen. Garibaldi to Blanchester, and a reception committee is in course of for mation. THE MURDER IN CAMBRIDGE. —At the Cambridge borough gaol on Monday, the mayor (Mr H. H. Harris), with Mr H. &nit Wand Mr C. Balls, were engaged for some hours is inquiring into the circumstances of this case. On the night of Sunday, Feb. 23, the house of two old ladies (a somewhat lone placa known as Prospect Cottage) was en tered, and both of these brutally attacked by a man masked and armed with a formidable carving knife and a bludgeon. He then made his escape. A man named George Morley Wallis, a distant connexion of one of the old ladies, was apprehended on suspicion, the evidence against him being of a strong circumstantial character. Eventually he was committed to the last assizes for assault with intent to murder. The lives of both the old ladies hung trembling in the balance meanwhile, and on the 18th ult., the day before the commission day, one of them (Mrs. Hunt) died. Under these circumstances a postponement of the trial was recom mended by Mr. Justice Crompton, and agreed to by counsel on both sides. His lordship also recommended the magis trates to begin denovo ; this they accordingly did on Mon day, and after sifting a voluminous mass of evidence com mitted the prisoner Wallis on the capital charge of wilful murder. Wallis exhibited the utmost confidence and self possession, The life of the second victim (Niro, Walker) is still in danger, d4I # J ~. PR1CE...... ...4d. STAMPED ....sd.

There was an ordinary meeting of thiliecie4Lon. S Tuesday evening—the president, Dr. J. Hunt, in the chair—at which two papers were read by the Rev. F. W. Farrar; the first one " On the asserted Universality of Belief in God and a Future State," and the second "On Hybridity." In the first paper Mr. Farrar endeavoured to show, by reference to the statements of travellers among various savage people, that there aro not only isolated tribes, but whole nations, who live with no knowledge of their Greater, and he considered that the opposite opinion had been often needlessly paraded as an evidence of religion. He adverted to the statements of different travellers respecting the Australians, the Ksffirs, the . Equi maux, the Andamaners, and the Veddabs of Ceylon, in confirmation of that opinion, for among those savages there had not been observed any objects of worship—no idols, nor temples, nor anything in the shape of religion to distinguish them from the beasts. The belief in the existence of some nue known power was not sufficient, Mr. Ferrer oh served, to prove belief in a Supreme B e i ng; for even animals have a consciousuess of the existence of some superior unseen power; and he mentioned the case of a dog that refused to enter a wood tha t was avoided by the inhabitants in the neighbournood, because it was reputed to be haunted. Dr. Hunt, Mr. Reddie, Mr. Fraser, Mr. Wal lace, Mr. Bendysche, and the Rev. Mr. Kerr entered into 'the discussion that succeeded, in which doubt was thrown on the testimotey of . travellers on such a matter, in consequence of their imperfect acquaintance with the language of the natives. Mr. D. Kerr mentioned that, in the discharge of his clerical duties in Liverpool and at the Bast-end of London, he had not un frcquently found persons who had litt:e idea of a Supreme Being, and he thought it could scarcely be expected that the belief in a Creator of the Uaiverse should be universally entertained among savage nations, when it was found that many even in this Christian country had little idea of a 'Sta. /~,,:~< In the next paper on " Human Hybridity," he contended that the assumptions that the fertility of hybrids is proof of the unity of species, and that the union of all varieties of the human race produce an offspring continuously fertile, are both. highly dis putable, if not erroneous. The assumption of fer tility as a criterion of species he considered to have exercised an unfavourable influence on•science, and he adduced several- instances to show that such a definition of species could not be relied on. .He adopted the opinion of Professor Agassiz, that the differences existing between races of men are of the same kind as the differ. ences observed between the different families, genera, and species of monkeys or other animals With regard to the second proposition, he adopted the opinions of M. Pouchet, that no mixed race can exist of itself, and that, when two races come in con tact, either one absorbs the other, or they continue unchanged side by side, c ith a third inferior and less numerous set of half-castes. Several instances were adduced in support of these opinions, among which was the fact that the Mamelukes could never propagate their race in Egypt, and the evidence of practical physicians that mulattoes have a special tendency to consumption and other diseases which causes them soon to die. From these considerations Mr. Farrar arrived at the conclusion that the human race sprang from a diversity of original pairs; and he contended that all who refuse to accept the de velopment theory of Mr. Darwin must be driven to the same conclusion. An animated discussion took place, in which Pro fessor Vogt, Mr. Wallace, Mr. Bendysche, Mr. Reddie, and the President took part. Mr. FRASER then read a communication he had received from Mr. Anthony, from the Bight of Benin, on the mental capacity of the negro, in which he gave a deplorable account of the degraded state of the negroes in the interior. The writer expressed very strong opinions respecting them. According to him they are utterly incapable of being civilised, they aro cannibals of the worst kind, they possess vices the lowest and most ferocious, they have none of the virtues of humaaity, and are scarcely supe rior to brutes. In the discussion that followed, Mr. REDDIE and Dr. TURLE objected to the spirit of the communici tiou, many parts of which they thought should be omitted if the letter were printed in the transactions of the society. The meeting then adjourned to the 19:h inst. Destructive Fire near Grosvenor-square. Shortly before four o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out on the premises of Messrs. Du Barry and Co., revalenta arabica food importers, in George. street, Grosvenor-square. So sudden was the out break that the police on duty in the neighbour hood were not cogeisant of the danger till the atmosphere became lighted up by the flames. The interior of the premises in question was found then to be on fire from the basement to the roof, and flames were issuing from all the windows at the back. Captain Shad, as soon as a supply of water could be procured from the plugs, arranged the branchmen in different points where a full com mand of the fire could be obtained, and eventually succeeded in stopping it from further progressing. but it was nearly six o'clock before the fire was completely extinguished. The following is the official report of the fire brigade. The premises of Messrs. Du Barry and Co., revalenta arabica food importers, machine rooms, tins department,and filling room of the manufactory burned down and roof destroyed; steam mills, stove house, carpenter's shops, and other part of the establishment severally burnt and damaged.
